Midnight Admission

Clock hits two, no turning back
Words begin to fill the cracks
You looked up, I held my breath
The night stood still, afraid of depth
I didn’t plan to speak tonight
But silence never felt so tight
And in your eyes, I saw the gate
Half-closed, but still a twist of fate
Midnight admission
Like breaking into light
Scared but willing
To let the truth ignite
This isn’t scripted, clean, or right
But I can’t leave it in the night
Street’s asleep, but we’re awake
Each heartbeat a risk we take
I stammer once, you lean in slow
You didn’t ask, but seemed to know
Your silence didn’t pull away
So I let my shadows stay
Midnight admission
Like breaking into light
Scared but willing
To let the truth ignite
This isn’t perfect, safe, or kind
But you’re the one I couldn’t hide
And maybe you won’t say it back
But I needed space for what I lack
Midnight admission
Half a step, but all of me
If you don’t catch it
Still, I had to let it be
The city fades, but this remains
A whispered truth in windowpanes
